Good point, Dwight. Yes, the Iranian government has reportedly arrested
individuals who posted messages to social media sites and sent tweets. The
first article on this page - Iranian Regime Turns Tables on Protesters Using
Social Media - http://www.nationalterroralert.com/updates/tag/twitter/ -
explains how.

Carol, thank you for sharing your husband's insights and your efforts.
I'm fascinated by the role young Iranian women are playing in these
protests. It's interesting how they are protesting in their Islamic garb,
wearing their shawls, etc... A prediction: the shawl will be seen
increasingly as a sign of female power, not oppression, in part because of
the heroic efforts of these brave young women.
One thing that concerns me, though: Can Twitter and other social media
services be tracked back to the originator by a given regime for purposes of
punishment?
